Benchmark fit

NBIS sensitivity to QQQ

The benchmark relationship is partial and explains 18% of weekly movement over the latest year. Current beta is 2.38 and is rising.

Likely beta range0.95 to 3.81

A wider range means the beta estimate is less precise.

Beta stability52/100

How consistently rolling beta has held its level and direction.

Annualised alpha+109.5%

The weekly regression intercept annualised; it is historical, not expected return.

Tracking error97.6%

Annualised volatility of returns above or below the benchmark.

Relationship directionRelationship broadly stable

+8.2 point change in movement explained across two distinct 26-week windows.

Beta and benchmark fitBeta is useful with context

The estimate carries information, but direction, stability or the likely range should be checked before relying on it.

Pressure and timing

Drawdowns and lead/lag relationship

The strongest link is in the same week. Lead/lag evidence is treated as secondary because timing relationships can change quickly.

Observable signals

Signals that would confirm or change the reading

These are conditions to monitor, not price targets or forecasts.

Relative strengthAbove the zero baseline

A fall through zero would show that the stock/benchmark ratio has moved below its trailing one-year average.

Up/down beta-1.69 upside-minus-downside gap

Downside beta is higher than upside beta. A narrowing gap would be the first sign of better asymmetry.

Exposure trendBeta is rising

Rising beta means broad-market moves are carrying more weight; falling beta means ticker-specific forces are carrying more weight.

Peer confirmation+12.4 points versus Internet Content & Information over 13 weeks

Strength shared by the peer group is broader; strength confined to the ticker is more company-specific and usually less stable.
